<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Richter scale </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Earthquakes occur as a result of tectonic stress that is generated by the boundaries across the earth. The energy released from the plates travels as seismic waves that can be measured and felt at the same time. The earthquake intensity is therefore measured by Richter scale; it measures the size of the seismic waves determining the strength of the earthquake and rates it on a scale ranging from one to ten.

The severity of the quake differs based on different events that can be easily determined using the measurement devices.

How did Ming China expand its international trade networks and influence in the early 1400s?
Viktor [21]

<u><em>China financed a large new fleet sent out to trade and build contacts under the command of Zheng He.</em></u>

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Ming dynasty is the one and only first Chinese dynasty that showed interest in trading with other countries. Zheng He was a great sea explorer who is also a fleet commander.
  • He established trades with many foreign countries. He served under the third Emperor Yongle whose reign was between 1402 to 1424. He built big ships (some families can live in) also named them as Junk to travel in the sea.
  • That made the Ming Dynasty earn more money. Ming Dynasty was interested only trading with Portuguese and Spain but most of the Europeans wanted to trade wit Asia for spices and teas.
  • When Yongle died the funding for the travel was stopped and that was the end of the Ming Dynasty's International trade through seas.

What combines with particles of weathered bedrock to make the fertile soil of the Midwest
Novay_Z [31]

The correct answer is - biomass from the decomposing grasses.

The Midwest is a region known for its highly fertile soil. The reason for this is that the weathered bedrock combines with huge amounts of biomass. The biomass is almost entirely form the grasses. The grasses grow naturally in this region and they dominate the landscape. They grow and die out relatively quickly, as most of those grasses are one season grasses. They manage to create very large amounts of biomass every year, and also they decompose very quickly. The grasses also are high in nutrients, so once decomposed, they give the soil a lot of nutrients as well, which makes it very fertile and suitable for agriculture.
